cpufreq: intel_pstate: Avoid percentages in limits-related computations
Currently, intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() first converts the
policy minimum and maximum limits into percentages of the maximum
turbo frequency (rounding up to an integer) and then converts these
percentages to fractions (by using fixed-point arithmetic to divide
them by 100).
That introduces a rounding error unnecessarily, because the fractions
can be obtained by carrying out fixed-point divisions directly on the
input numbers.
Rework the computations in intel_pstate_hwp_set() to use fractions
instead of percentages (and drop redundant local variables from
there) and modify intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() to compute the
fractions directly and percentages out of them.
While at it, introduce percent_ext_fp() for converting percentages
to fractions (with extended number of fraction bits) and use it in
the computations.
